REPORT: Fox News Silent On Anti-Gay Human Rights Crises - It's
relatively easy for us to be blase about Fox News' lack of journalistic
integrity but something like this goes beyond the pale. Coupled with
the fact that Fox News also gives anti-gay group leaders wide berths in
unchallenged interviews and is the home of a propaganda artist who
constantly spins lies about anti-Christian persecution (Todd Starnes), I
take solace in how this network will be remembered by future
generations. It won't be a good legacy to have.

Hiding behind the 'hate' label - A
lesson on rhetoric. When anti-gay groups and their supporters say that
they don't "hate" lgbts, we need to remind them that we don't care
whether they do or don't. It's not about hatred, but their ignorance and
their false sense of entitlement in that they feel they are entitled to
dictate what makes a family or how they flaunt their deliberate
ignorance about lgbt lives and expect not to be called on it.
